August 31, 2023 – South Dakota – If it weren’t for my new best friends, Jamie, and his wife, Mary Kay, from Illinois, I would have never experienced the Badlands or had a buffalo cross the road in front of me.
It was such a tremendous experience. The bull had such a large head, a regal stride and he definitely commanded the roadway.

The rest of the Badlands was majestic, and vast, and had a topography that is definitely not found in the Midwest. Plus my hosts made it fun. I met Jamie and Mary Kay when I knocked on the door of their mobile home at 9:15 p.m. Monday night. They had an Illinois license plate and my plan was to hitch a ride east; finding someone at the KOA campground had to be safer than choosing a person with a pickup at the gas station by the highway.
